The group folded shortly after this album was recorded as a result of the tragic death of its leader. The brass arrangements are excellent and the mostly original material is defini…
Sitar Beat
**2019 stock, reduced price** Big Jim Sullivan was a well-known session musician in his time and was asked by many bands including The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Animals, Lulu, The Kinks to name just a few. Going to a music school must have been a novel idea as Big Jim had been playing guitar on sessions since 1957, resulting in his presence on more UK hits than anyone else. He studied with a famous Indian sitar player who gave Jim the necessary insight to be a creditable player. The result wa…

OOCD
Orchestra of Constant Distress is the new Swedish supergroup featuring Joachim Nordwall (Skull Defekts, Alvars Orkester), Anders ‘Drajan’ Bryngelsson (Brainbombs, No Balls), Henrik Rylander and Henrik Andersson. Their self-titled debut LP on 8mm is a nice slab of Hard Rock from the year 3000. 5 tracks of pure mechanical alienation, built upon very minimal guitar/drums patterns and waves of harsh electronics, sounding pretty much like anything else in the actual noise rock scenario.

Funeral Parties
When Bhob Rainey had moved to New Orleans late in the first decennium of the 2000´s we were talking about an eventual new collaboration. The idea to work with the confrontation of New Orleans based jazz funeral music versus the european tradition of composed funeral music came up and sank down no later than bhob´s next move - to Philadelphia. Nevertheless i felt fascinated by plunging into the funeral theme and laid down…

Dissection Of Chronus
Embudagonn 108 is Wataru Kasahara, hermetic artist from Tokyo. The recording covers over 30 years. Started in 1984, continued in 1988, finished in mid 2014. Field recordings, /smashed with disturbingly electronic sounds, echoes of old instruments lost in our memories. Kasahara describes his work in these words: “My simbolism is a decorative trap. you and I are in the absurd game. This music is killed, dissected and discarded music'.
White vinyls, printed labels and inner sleeve, one time limite…
The Difference of Similarity / The Similarity of Difference (LP
**300 copies** Astral Colonels are Anthony Pateras and Valerio Tricoli and this is their second album. On Side A ("The Difference of Similarity") the formidable use of a sound arsenal based primarly on prepared piano and tapes and a bright use of echo and repetition create winding tensions grafted into harmonics, irregular spiral-shaped non-progressions intertwining costantly on the ridge between the familiar and the unknown, a recurring alternation of stasis and fibrillation that delivers liste…
The Cycle Is Complete
restocked, 180 grams edition, long out of print, few copies available...A really great trance psychedelic album from 1972, with only 4 mainly instrumental tracks spread across it's 2 sides. The Palmer group is largely made up of unknowns but I do recognize Paul Lagos (drums ) and Templeton Parcely ( violin ) as members of "Incredible" era Kaliedoscope but then again I should mention the ever popular Big Black on congas.The music presented here is a loose trippy sound that reminds me a great deal…

Opus III

John Hulburt (1947-2012) was a member of legendary mid-60's Chicago garage rock band The Knaves, whose records were recently reissued by Sundazed. Opus III showcases his exceptional talent on the acoustic guitar, proving somewhat of an anomaly in a city not known for its solo guitar recordings during this era. W…
Digging In The Dust: Home Recordings 1976
Mark Fosson's The Lost Takoma Sessions seemed to be the definitive statement on his earliest work upon its release in 2006, but then again, before the studio work there had to have been something around that caught John Fahey's ear to start with. Digging in the Dust: Home Recordings 1976 is just that, collecting performances of many but not all the songs that were eventually re-recorded for Takoma, along with an otherwise unavailable recording in the shape of Gene Autry's classic "Back in the Sa…
